Castien fells the blade connect solidly and sees the red spreading down the side of the priest's robes. Driven by panic and pain, the priest flies out of the chapel doors and into the night.
(The priest is now outside of the chapel, a total distance of 45 feet away from Castien. It's Castien's turn to act.)

Night, this has taken longer than expected and he tried to control this situation but to no avail, he takes off his sheath belt, backpack, coat and hat and places them on a church pew besides him and transforms into his werewolf form
and chases after the priest, he is now running through the church at full speed and then leaps into the air, longsword in hand, hoping to land on top of the priest
Castien charges down the isle of the church and leaps through the door, landing squarely on the back of the injured priest and knocking him to the ground.
Rising to his feet, the priest grips his holy symbol and murmurs another incantation.
The priest's spell...does nothing.
Looking down in confusion he realizes that he's grabbed Brother Benjamin's Symbol of the Church of Ezra instead of the symbol of the Cult of Zura. He rips the symbol of Ezra from his neck and casts it aside.
“ And the Cult of Zura, where do you meet and how many are there of you? “
Remember when Castien said questions not question, that was plural, he wouldn’t go through this all this trouble to return to the Church of Ezra empty handed and fail his investigation

“ Are you lying to me? “
Castien growled lowly, not trusting a word the other said because well, he was a snivelling rat in his opinion and Castien was very much the Church of Ezra’s little rat catching dog
“ In that case there’s only one thing left to do “
Castien sheathed his longsword and then reached inside the priests mouth and with one of his claws, cut off his tongue, he’d keep his promise and allow him to live, but he couldn’t have the priest running off and blabbering about everything that he learned, about Castien, about the Church of Ezra. At least being a mute he could live and not be able to talk
Then put the priest down on the ground who he was holding with his other hand and removed his claws from his sides
Once finished and removing his hand from the fake priests mouth, he wiped his claws on his ripped trousers and notices that it’s almost been an hour since he changed, meaning that he’ll have to wrap this up quickly before transforming back into a human
” Believe you call that an eye for an eye, you killed Brother Benjamin and so I avenged him. “

Castien keeps a close eye on the cultist as he guides him to the body of Brother Benjamin, when he finally lays eyes on him, he’ll take a token of the fallen priest to send in his report back to the church

“ Is Brother Benjamin alive?! “

Castien's attacks would have easily killed most warriors but the priest, though badley injured, still has a lot of fight left in him.
He clutches his (un)holy symbol and casts another spell. A shimmering forcefield surrounds his body as he yells for help.
(Castien's turn)
“ Answer me, is Brother Benjamin alive?! “
He dug his claws in further and twisted his hand slightly, so the flame engulfed claws caused more pain as they burrowed into his flesh
“ If you answer my questions, I’ll stop the pain. “
This was the best offer the priest was going to get for the night and Castien would be good to his word

"No!"
(He seems to be telling the truth to Castien)
“ Then answer me this, how many members are there of the cult? “
Castien wasn’t going to walk away empty handed, he wouldn’t fail the mission the church gave him nor fail himself and this investigation
Afterwards they’ll go and look for the body of Brother Benjamin

the priest gurgles on blood as he tries, ineffectually, to scream through the hand gripping his mouth.
Once finished and removing his hand from the fake priests mouth, he wiped his claws on his ripped trousers and notices that it’s almost been an hour since he changed, meaning that he’ll have to wrap this up quickly before transforming back into a human
” Believe you call that an eye for an eye, you killed Brother Benjamin and so I avenged him. “
Castien glared softly at the bloody priest
“ Now show me the body “
she / they
Still wide-eyed with fear, the priest regains his composure enough to nod his agreement.
Slowly, as if fearing a sudden movement might trigger the beast to attack, he rises to his feet.

The Cultist points at the buildings of Northorpe and shakes his head. He then points back down the cart path towards Wyndshire.
